The Grandfather Thing
(A Warmly Comic Memoir)

If you believe that your brand new grandchild is the most beautiful creation in the world, you’ve got “The Grandfather Thing.” If you find yourself showing baby pictures to strangers, you’ve got “The Grandfather Thing.” And if you belive that you’re above all this sentimatnality and frivolousness, maintaining a cool objectivity, you’re in denial and have the most severe case of “The Grandfather Thing!” In this warmly comic memoir of grandson Mac’s first year, humorist Saul Terteltaub – who believes he’s immune to “The Grandfather Thing” – is converted from objective bystander to super enthusiast as “The Grandfather Thing” works its wonders on his psyche. 

The Ultimate Droodles Compendium

$16.95

Before the inspired nonsense of Monty Python, David Letterman and the Far Side, there were Droodles. With a few squiggles in a simple square, these clever drawings created absurd scenes like SHIP ARRIVING TOO LATE TO SAVE A DROWNING WITCH (used by Frank Zappa as an album cover), EYEGLASSES FOR A POTATO and CLAM WITH BUCK TEETH And they were all the creation of one brilliant and unpredictable man: Roger Price.

At the height of their popularity in the mid-1950s, fans enjoyed the Droodles TV show, a Droodles daily newspaper column, Droodles magazine features, Droodles cocktail napkins, even Droodles in ads for Lucky Strike cigarettes. Like hula hoops, drive-in movies and UFOs, Droodles were one of the biggest fads of the 1950s.

The WOW! Prescription to Reach Your Ideal Weight - and Stay There

New Book by the Doctor Behind NBC\'s The Biggest Loser - A Weight Loss Program that Really Works!

Obesity is a killer, accounting for over 300,000 deaths a year in the U.S. alone.

Where Did all the Fat Go? is based on new scientific obesity research gathered by the doctor behind the hit NBC television show, The Biggest Loser.

Although many diets work in the short term, none has proven effective over a long period. On the contrary, “dieting” often results in weight gain several months or years after the initial weight loss. This book shows you how to reach your dream weight safely and effectively – and stay there!
